SWORD of SHADOW and LIGHT

Little_Tulip5045
A Thousand Years Ago, the sky knew only one color. Dragons flew and humans walked, and between them was an ancient covenant: that the dragons would protect the kingdoms from the darkness dwelling beneath the earth, and that humans would build for the dragons towers of ivory and gold where they could rest after their night flights. And the "Heart of the World"—a gem the size of a fist, glowing like the sun on winter nights—was kept in the temple of the White Mountain, binding the souls of the two kinds with an invisible thread. But human hearts change, while dragon hearts do not. No one knows who started it. Some historians blame hunger, others blame fear, and many accuse the accursed sorcerer who convinced the human king that the Heart of the World gem could grant him immortality. On a bloody night, the king's soldiers ascended to the temple of the White Mountain, killed the virgin Dragon Guardians, and stabbed the Heart of the World with blades of obsidian. The gem shattered into a thousand shards. Half scattered into the chest of every dragon, and from it they inherited rage and flame. The other half scattered into the chest of every human, and from it they inherited greed and fear. And from that night on, the two kinds became enemies, and the darkness they once fought together became free to seep into the world through the cracks left by the Heart's explosion. Now, after a thousand years, the Blue Dragon Izoroth has risen. He did not rise to destroy... he rose to correct. He rose to seek the knight who is worthy. --- --- Between castles and fortresses lie secrets, and in those secrets lies peace... How will our journey be?

Reincarnated as Duryodhana in Mahabharata

Aditya was just an ordinary young man from the modern world — until a sudden accident ended his life and sent his soul into the body of Suyodhana, the eldest prince of Hastinapur. In this new life he is the boy history will one day call Duryodhana — the cursed prince fated to start the greatest war the world has ever seen. But Aditya is not alone. A mysterious Karma System has come with him, rewarding every kind choice and warning him when darkness creeps too close. Armed with his twenty-first-century knowledge and a burning desire to change the future, Suyodhana sets out to rewrite the tragic story of the Mahabharata. He heals his father Dhritarashtra’s blind eyes, wins the true loyalty of the mighty Karna and the forest archer Eklavya, and gathers his young friends in a quest to stop the bloody Kurukshetra war before it can begin. Yet destiny is far more stubborn than he imagined. As Suyodhana and his companions journey through glowing mountains, face ancient trials of the heart, and challenge the will of gods and sages, a deeper shadow begins to stir. Something far more dangerous than the coming war hides in the forgotten corners of this world — an ancient evil that the old legends never dared to name. Will Suyodhana truly become the hero who saves everyone he loves? Or will the heavy name of Duryodhana slowly pull him back into the darkness he is trying to escape? A tale of friendship, second chances, and cosmic fate — where one boy’s modern heart must decide whether he will break the chains of destiny… or become the very monster the world already fears.
